Objectives

The Liberation Museum Zeeland is geared to appeal to a wide section of the public. Besides visitors from the local area, there is wide interest from the United Kingdom, Scotland, the United States of America and Canada. In recent years the interest from Germany also shows an increase. More than once guided tours have been organized with both "Allied" and German visitors looking at their history together. It transpires that close relatives would like to have more information concerring the part their father or brother played in the Second World War. This generation of close relatives has more and more interest, and is prepared to try and gain more in-depth knowledge. The Liberation Museum meets this need.

The number of 60+ers who visit the museum is large. In many cases they come in groups. The visit often forms part of an organized Battlefield Tour within the framework of Rememberance and other festivities connected with the Liberation of Zeeland in November 1944. In addition a visit is often one of the items included in a Blossom Tour Programme in the Spring. Not only is there increasing interest from the local population, but also from the rest of the country as well. Especially in the Summer months tourists with children  are coming in ever greater numbers, regarding the museum as a bad weather facility .

School childeren form a special target group. During the last ten years of the prcious century less attention was paid to the Second World War in education. Recently there has been a dramatic change on that score. There is now much more emphasis paid to it. Previously it was assumed that the children were told a lot about it at home, nowadags the point of view is that the schools must also play an active róle.
